List Of NITs And Streams NRIs Can Get Into
Getting admissions into Undergraduate engineering colleges in India to foreign nationals is a highly cumbersome process due to lack of availability of correct and useful amount of information regarding the streams and courses offered in a number of colleges. The students’ living abroad fall into three categories such as
- Person of Indian Origin (PIO) is the non-Indian resident who is given a 15-year visa but it has been discontinued later.
- Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) are those non-Indian citizens who are given lifetime visa to live and work in India with a minimum possible amount of restrictions.
- Non-Resident Indian (NRI) is the legal citizen of India living in another country due to work and other unavoidable reasons.
The students falling into the category of Non-Resident Indian (NRI), Person of Indian Origin (PIO) and Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) can get admission into engineering colleges in India through the DASA scheme.
DASA is a short form for Direct Admission of Students Abroad. Direct Admission of Students Abroad (DASA) is a scheme launched by Ministry of Human Resource Development of the Government of India for admission of Non-Resident Indians (NRI) into premier Institutions of India. The admission under the DASA scheme into UG and PG educational programs for the year 2018-19 is coordinated by Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology Allahabad, India.

DASA / CIWG & JEE FAQ 2022-23
Answer: Yes, DASA Scheme as well as its subset (the CIWG Scheme) will be available for admissions in the academic year 2022-22.
By applying under these scheme, students can take admissions in NITs, IIITs, CFIs & SPAs. The only difference from 2022 is that JEE Main Rank will be considered valid, not SAT 2.
Answer: No. As notified on the official website of DASA, SAT 2 Scores or SAT Subject Scores will no longer be valid from 2021 onwards to take admissions under DASA & CIWG Scheme.
Answer: The benefit with JEE is that the students who happen to be eligible for JEE Advanced (decided on the basis of JEE Main Results), can take JEE Advanced Exams to try for admissions in IITs, the most premier engineering Institute in India.
The same wasn’t possible with SAT 2 because IITs dont intake students on the basis of SAT 2 Scores. If students can’t clear JEE Advanced, they can still take admissions in NITs, IIITs, CFIs & SPAs on the basis of JEE Main Rank.
The eligibility criteria for DASA 2022 & CIWG 2022 will remain the same as it is for 2021 or 2020. There are no changes in the eligibility criteria yet announced officially by DASA. Visit here, to check your DASA Eligibility.
Answer: NRI, PIO, OCI Students who are in grade 11th (in 2020) and will be appearing for grade 12th final exams in 2022, are eligible for JEE 2022 to apply under the DASA 2022.
If you are in grade 12th (in 2021), you must be appearing for grade 12th final exams in 2022. Hence you will be giving JEE 2 for applying under DASA 2022.
If in case you wish to take an year extra just for exam preparation, then the year will be 2022 & hence you will have to take JEE Main to apply under DASA 2022.
Ans: Because DASA released this notification on 4th of April on its official website (https://dasanit.org/). There are 100% chance that this notification is a final one.
No detailed circular has been released as of now but as soon as any such updates arrive, you can find them on our website.
Answer: This is completely unpredictable. But there seems to be less chance that it will be withdrawn. The NRI, PIO, OCI Students who wish to apply for DASA / CIWG 2022 (& years after 2022) must start preparing for JEE Main.
Answer: No changes have been made in the qualifying exam criteria for DASA 2022. Students must have a minimum of 60%, or equivalent, in Grade 12 Exams (of their respective boards) & must have successfully completed Maths, Physics and one of the subjects from (Chemistry, Biotechnology, Computer Science, Biology) in Grade 11th & 12th.
Answer: The applicants must be thoroughly aware of the syllabus & pattern i.e. revolving around the NCERT textbooks for class 11th & 12th.
This is because JEE Syllabus is based on the NCERT Text books. The students must also practice using various reference books /online test series/ JEE coaching online/ mock tests/ previous years papers in order to crack JEE 2022 for applying under DASA 2022 or CIWG 2022.
Answer: The JEE cutoff varies every year because of the percentile system. Hence, the exact cut off cannot be mentioned. Every year, JEE cutoff is announced at the time of JEE Result Declaration & it is valid only for that particular year.
Answer: Based on the tough competition students have in India, it is very necessary for students to make extra efforts to clear JEE Main or Advanced. In India, when science students enter grade 11th, they take up tuitions or coaching to help them prepare for JEE Main.
Because the JEE Syllabus is based on NCERT Textbooks which are used in Grade 11th & 12th, it also helps them prepare for their school exams / board exams. Ideally, 2 years of JEE preparation (coaching, previous 40 years questions practice, test series) is needed for students who want to clear JEE Main.
Hence, it is highly recommended for NRI , PIO, OCI Students to take JEE Coaching if they wish to secure a seat in NITs, IIITs, CFIs or SPAs under DASA / CIWG Scheme 2022.
Answer: Whether you are an NRI Student residing in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Singapore, or anywhere in the world,
Testprepkart has been providing online coaching for JEE & various other entrance exams with proven results. Our online classes are live & completely interactive encouraging the interactions between students and the teachers. We also equip our students with up to date study materials, online test series, doubt clearing sessions. You can book a free demo session with us.
Answer: Observing this pattern of how DASA has been allowing NRI Students to submit their JEE 2 scores through their college board account, there are high chances that from session 2022-23 onwards, NRI Students might be made to submit their JEE Main Rank to DASA through their JEE Main account.
TestprepKart offers guidance and a range of resources to help students looking for schools and financial assistance.
